A former chair of the Fulton County Commission is running for Congress, but not in the county where he was last elected.
Instead, Democrat John Eaves wants to represent Georgia’s 7th U.S. House District, which includes parts of Gwinnett and Forsyth Counties.
Eaves, who lost his 2017 bid for Atlanta mayor, moved to Gwinnett in January.
“People have come to me who know about my background, my track record, and encouraged me to consider it,” Eaves said. “And I decided to do it. I believe I’m the right person at the right place at the right time.”
Eaves said health care will be at the top of his legislative agenda.
